- BEFORE INSTALLATION
- -------------------
-
- 1. Attaching Extended Attributes
-
- The Extended Attribute file (.EA) for the driver must be attached
- to the actual driver file (.DRV) so installation of the driver
- will succeed. This is done by using the EAUTIL.EXE program that
- is part of OS/2.
-
- -> Use the command file provided to do this for you.
- (example: PMPLOTPD.CMD for the IBM Plotter Queue Processor
- PMPLOTPD.DRV)
-
- The command file must be run from the same directory where all
- the driver files were unzipped to.
-
- Once this is done successfully, you may proceed with normal
- queue driver installation if you are not replacing an older
- version of the same processor. If you are see step #2 below.
-
- The installation of an OS/2 Printer Driver is documented in
- OS/2 2.0's online Master Help Index under the topic 'queue'
- and the subtopic 'changing driver'.
-
- The installation of an OS/2 Printer Object is documented in
- OS/2 2.0's online Master Help Index under the topic 'Creating'
- and subtopic 'Printer Object'.
-
- 2. Replacing existing drivers
-
- If you are replacing an existing driver with the same driver there
- are a few things that need to be done before installation.
-
- a) "Hold" every printer object (queue) that has the driver you are
- replacing installed as the "Queue Driver".
-
- "Holding" a printer object (queue) is accomplished by:
- i. Right mouse button on the printer object (queue),
- a menu should appear.
- ii. Left mouse button on the menu item "Change status",
- a sub-menu should appear.
- iii. Left mouse button on the sub-menu item "Hold"
- A check mark should appear next to the "Hold" sub-menu item
- on subsequent accesses of this sub-menu.
-
- a "Queue driver" for a print object (queue) is found by:
- i. Right mouse button on the printer object (queue),
- a menu should appear.
- ii. Left mouse button on the arrow to the left of menu item
- "Open", a sub menu should appear.
- iii. Left mouse button on the sub-menu item "Settings",
- a notebook should appear.
- iv. Left mouse button on the notebook tab labelled "Queue options",
- the notebook page should change.
- v. You should see a window on this page labelled
- "Queue driver" where all queue drivers used
- by this queue are shown.
-
- b) Shut down all programs that use any printer object (queue)
- for printing. Also, remember to remove any programs
- that might automatically start upon booting from the
- "startup" folder or startup.cmd file or other command files.
- This will ensure these programs won't load the printer driver
- you are trying to replace, causing installation of the new
- version of the driver to fail.
-
- d) Shut down your computer to save any changes.
-
- c) Reboot your computer. Your system should come up fresh
- with no jobs printing or programs running.
-
- d) Directly following this reboot, install the new version
- of the queue driver from the directory you unzipped it to.
